I have a specific pump I can use to get my tires where they should be. If I use the other one, I can pump all day.... Hmmmm. speaking of men............... welp my tire pumper is moving out this weekend. im guessing he wont be too keen on me asking him to pump my tires...though he said he'd still cut the grass. im thinking i need a better pump. stacieb Yea for the tire pumper moving out! Purchasing your very own tire pump is such a small trade off. I tried the one I bought at the bike store. I have arm issues and things like that me off no end. NO ONE is allowed to use my pump. NO ONE, NO HOW! i wanted a better ie more expensive pump, but former tire pumper wouldnt hear it. so i told him if he didnt want to get the more expensive pump that i could use myself to pump the tires, then he would have to pump them for me everytime i wanted to ride. which he did. your ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, ROBIN. a small trade off for certain. and besides, it'll feel GREAT to pump my own tires. stacieb |

Purchasing your very own tire pump is such a small trade off. I tried the one I bought at the bike store. I have arm issues and things like that me off no end. NO ONE is allowed to use my pump. NO ONE, NO HOW! I had one I liked, and I broke it. I was out at Wallyworld and bought a cheap one. You get what you pay for, it was a piece of junk. I bought another one at the bike shop, that I like. I had it in the living room, because Lola has been living in the house. The kids started playing with it. MY BIKE PUMP IS NOT A TOY! Play with the cheap one I don't like. Leave my good one alone! as soon as get my good pump, that will MOST CERTAINLY be my policy as well. the boys KNOW that they dont touch ANY of my tri stuff EVER. stacieb |

I can only get them to around 100. They are rock hard at 100 so I live with it. too bad when you pump them they dont stay there. your 100 trumps my 85. i could have you pump mine while your here visiting. you be STRONG ANN-O-MUSCLEWOMAN! stacieb I do have nice arms and shoulders. I'm just sayin'. I can most certainly pump your tires when I'm there. thanks for hooking up a fellow GHOULIE GIRL. im sure we'll find EXCEPTIONALLY MORE FUN ways to occupy our time while youre here in PGH. WOOT! stacieb |

It's the sweaty workout clothes kind. I wonder if the cute younger tire pumper would do laundry when he's not pumping tires. |

He has lived with us for 4 years now. Basically my wife was the bearer of all the news since I was gone and I have to give kudos when deserved - she did a great job handling it all. I spoke to the doctor (a friend) last night as my only part in the process. We are waiting to hear back from the insurance company to determine which action to take and when it will happen. Could be today - could be next week. Guess our God knows a lot more than I do - LOL. I asked for clarity on the TransIowa withdrawal and this wipes the fog away pretty quickly if I do say so myself. I will be around - not totally with it yet - 5 hours of sleep with 20 hours of travel will do that to Bill. Hope you all had a great day yesterday - our weather is beyond words. Time for a bike ride tonight - in the dirt!!! Sorry to hear that Bill Ghoulie hugs and kisses with you |

Since we've been talking about sharing a house in SD I just want to throw something out there. I like to hang out around the house in my underoos. AND Tequila makes my clothes fall off. If I'm not wearing much in the line of clothing, and I'm in a margarita drinking contest, I'm going to need a babysitter. I'm just sayin'. |

WELCOME HOME. clarity always has a way of making an appearance especially when we ask. more peace about your decision. how grand is that? sounds like what could be a very challenging situation is moving forward as well as could be expected. i'll certainly will be mindful of your father, you and your family during this transition. not easy, but doable. and enjoy your ride in the dirt. stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2010-04-14 8:37 AM |
